Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies
Description
These cookies start by mixing flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to form the dry base. Wet ingredients consist of room temperature butter, pumpkin puree, brown and white sugar, then combined with an egg and vanilla extract for richness and moisture. The dry and wet mixtures are blended gently to maintain a creamy batter before stirring in rolled oats and dried cranberries, adding texture and fruitiness.
The batter portions into flattened rounds on parchment-lined baking sheets to compensate for limited spreading. Baking at 350°F results in slightly browned surfaces and soft centers with chewy oats. The pumpkin contributes moisture that keeps the cookies tender, while cranberries add bursts of tartness.
This recipe makes a comforting seasonal treat, suitable for snack time or dessert. The cookies cool on racks before serving, ensuring firmness to handle. Their moderate sweetness and texture highlight pumpkin and spice flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour $0.14
- 1/2 tsp baking soda $0.05
- 1/2 tsp baking powder $0.05
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.03
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon $0.05
- 2 Tbsp butter $0.29, room temperature
- 1/2 cup pumpkin $0.48, puree
- 1/3 cup brown sugar $0.11
- 1/3 cup white sugar $0.05
- 1 egg $0.17, large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract $0.28
- 1 1/2 cup rolled oats $0.30
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries $0.51
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until very well combined.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter (room temperature), pumpkin, brown sugar, and white sugar on low speed. Once they're well combined, add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined again.
- Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and beat on low speed just until a thick, creamy batter forms. Add the dry oats and dried cranberries and stir them into the batter with a spoon.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the batter onto the baking sheet in 2 Tbsp portions, leaving about 1.5 inches between each cookie. The cookies will not spread much during baking, so gently pat them down into flattened circles.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until slightly browned on the surface. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before eating.
